Many of the newer mini-pci intel cards are supported by the e100 driver. The earlier eepro or eepro100 will not work. One other method would be to use a pcmcia card other than the e100 card (is that one integrated?), do the network installation, download the e100 sources, and switch things around a bit. I have a Dell Latitude Ls with an integrated 3com vortex card and I often slip in a 3com pcmcia card or a orinoco gold card instead. I have had very good luck with a variety of cheap ethernet cards as well as the non-cheap 3com's. One that has worked flawlessly is the linksys dual ethernet/modem combo card. It does not require the curse of the digital age -- the dongle :) Would this method work for you? -- Michael Perry | "Do or do not; there is no try" Master Yoda [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.lnxpowered.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
